All I can say is Wow.  I'm a nurse, and dealing with a father with pancreas CA.

I had no idea that a Whipple is done for pancreatitis and/or benign findings.  Testing and a needle biopsy would have shown whether the tumor was cancerous.  A person should not have to go to the extent of a Whipple for diagnosis.  Since the head of the pancreas was removed, are you now symptomatic of diabetes?
